In this article we study the particularities of editorial practice in contexts of confinement in Argentina through the systematization and analysis of five publications, already published or in the process of being published, which were formulated within the framework of pedagogical-political practices carried on by the Prisons Extension Program of the Philosophy and Literature Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires. These five cases will be addressed in order to observe what meanings guide the editorial processes through the marks imprinted on them by the specificity of the writing that summons them and the territory to which they belong. Publishing in the context of a pedagogical project developed by the university configures collective territories where writing and publications can display and carry plural voices, which are strengthened in that plurality forged in the heat of individual and collective subjectivation processes made possible by education and writing. Editorial practice is inseparably intertwined with actions aimed at defending rights, narrating lived experiences and building a collective history which are part of the desires and expectations regarding publication.

This paper discusses distortions of scientific practices, generated from evaluation policies, from validation of scientific relevance or papers' production. The document suggests that over dimension of publications as a research final goal ignores other alternatives for evaluation of scientific relevance and research dissemination. In addition, as a balance of the distortion, this document proposes the progression Issues, Programs, Policies, Research (PPPI for his acronyms in Spanish). This strategy promotes research's use in educational practices and policies, and recovers user engagement in social and educational research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
